RADA Electronic
Industries has received an order to supply its Multi-mission
Hemispheric Radar system to an undisclosed customer in Far East Asia.

While the company did not reveal any details
about its client outside of its relative location, it did reveal the
customer intends to procure the technology to support its High Energy
Laser ground-based tactical weapon system.

The High Energy Laser, or HEL, is used to
support a variety of military missions, and is designed to engage
short-range threats and afford allied ground forces more
maneuverability.

"We have developed the MHR to meet the highest
requirements of tactical, land-based force protection solutions," RADA
CEO Dov Sella said in a press release.
"he high energy laser market is gradually being recognized as the
weapon for the future, and we are very happy to be involved in a
continuously growing number of such programs."

Sella went on to note the company is involved
in about ten HEL development programs in the United States and Europe.
The Multi-mission Hemispheric Radar is already integrated into U.S. Navy
and U.S. Marine Corps platforms.
